Verify

the Media Connector power is on and the blue light on the front panel is glowing.

If not, verify all connections are snug from the power adaptor to the power input of the Media Connector.  If all connections are secure, determine if the outlet is working or test with a known working power supply. 

Check

that the Link light is green on the front of the Media Connector.

If the light is not green, the Media Connector is not registered to the Topcat. Follow the registration instructions at:

Check

the audio cable connections between the audio source and the Media Connector. 

There should be a cable connecting the audio output on the audio source to an Audio Input on the Media Connector.

No voice is output from the speaker

Verify

the power light on the front of the Topcat is glowing blue.

If it is not blue, turn on the Media Connector or the Flexmike. If the Media Connector and/or Flexmike are on and there is still no voice, check that the power is properly connected to the Topcat either by an external power supply or hard-wired into the building’s mains.
